Good move! One reason why our hospitals and schools are so bad is because those who have the influence to change things send their kids abroad or go abroad for treatments. If they are forced to use local schools and hospitals they will use their clout and put more pressure to get our local institutions fixed.

Just look at a school like Kings college, for all the highly placed people that has passed through it's walls, it's in that state because I bet you there is no KC alumni today that sends his son to KC. Everywhere else old students are a valuable source of pressure on government and keeping a school in good shape. All the billionaires, senators, chief justices that went to KC should be ashamed. They are the ones looking for forex to send their kids to secondary schools abroad. In a sane environment if you pass through an ivy league college you'd want your son to continue the tradition.



If you want to benefit other economies (by exporting our money to their hospitals and their schools) fine but source for your own forex, the govt wont subsidize you to do so.

Do not flatter yourself bro, this ban policy will still not make the "Movers & the shakers" of our health sector to patronize local health centres...Like seriously, you think this ban will make the "supposed" top people to turn around and use our hospitals. Do you think its hard for them to get dollars? This guy sef, u dey yarn like say u be junior student. These so called people can get the dollars from their high connections, this ban doesn't affect them. They are well connected! Na pple like me & you e dey affect
#Just thank Baba God that you do not have a seriouss sickness that will needed to be attended to abroad.

my brother don't discourage people of drinking much water because it does not have any side effect, it can be dangerous to any patient whom their body organ as u mention are not efficiently in good working condition, and they are under drugs prescription since our body contains almost 15 litres of water.

Have you read about Hyponatremia? Iguess not, keep ranting!

Omotayor123:
Noted.. I love water

But OP, does drinking too much water has side effect

Don't believe everything you read online, a little research will always help. Too much water has side effect. I just explained that above, for further clarification you can google about HYPONATREMIA

adimoh99:
You really cannot have excess of water as advised by health professionals. Reasons being that, they are lots of ways you excret water like urine, sweats and to mention bur a few. So drink to stupor Bro.

Do not preach what you don't know. Although water drinking is good, over doing is harmful to your body. Its called "hyponatremia" you can google it. Excess water in the body leads to low concerntration of sodium all resulting to
-Kidney failure
- liver failure or
- heart failure
#While growing up, were you not taught that TOO MUCH OF EVERYTHING IS BAD.....so it is with water drinking, Moderation is key!

Okonjo iweala had said the solution. We nigerians need to develop what she calls a "social contract". A contract where we all agree on common principles & ethics.......Coz no matter the effort government puts in laying pipelines, some saboteurs will go & Vandalize them. No matter the effort govt put in power, some peeps will go & steal the cables. And so on and so forth. We are quick to blame govt but we forget to analyse the full picture to see the other enemy living amongst us in the neighbourhood

I'm very grateful to Mr ikenna who opened this thread coz I'v learnt a lot as a new driver. However, I have often heard about using a scanner to diagonise certain wierd light indicator on the dashboard and I'll like to ask,does this scanner work for only new cars?. Can it work on older versions like a peugot 406? because there's a wierd light always showing on the 406 @ my crib but the mechanics often say : It doesn't mean anything, that we should forget about the light on the dashboard".......I feel indifferent to those words of the mechanic

Na today na you know?

Lool, Have you experienced something similar?

On the 4th of feb 2016 being thursday (Screen shot below), I subscribed my blackberry Internet service, Only to receive a suprising mesage the next day, Friday that my BIS has expired. And I'm like WTF, in 24hrs! Finished!!! When I never even download or watch any movie.
So I decided to call several MTN customer care agents and they all sounded alike saying "Its a general problem, but be rest assured in 24hours the issue will be resolved, if you don't get your subscription back, MTN will refund you the money".....Hehe, Mtn refund me? For this time wey NCC wan milk them dry?
Anywayz, I waited for 4days till and when I couldn't wait any longer I did a new subscription. Imagine how many customers are defrauded 1k in a week by MTN
Share, if you'v experienced this before.

KINGinVAHALA:
@Op your list is incomplete without sport bet. yeah, i know its gambling, but it pays more and faster than those you listed. imagine investing 100k for just 5 odds(barca win, psg win, bayern win, juventus win, psv win, benfica win, napoli win, olympiakos win, apoel win, AEK Athens win) and within maximum 48hrs your money would turn 500k. tell me if even oil & gas wud pay you such in 7 days.

#Nna legodu ka okoko a si e display.............See your teeth like bet 100k on 5 odds. When Real madrid played draw with real betis u believe am? Or when Barcelona played draw with Deportivo la coruna. You believe am? Had it been someone adhere to your advice and placed 100k , naso the money for take swim river.

rapthugx:
Pls which of the sports channels show live ligue 1. I am also on basic. Thanks.

There are about four sports channels , sport focus, sport life etc. Just check any of them whenever there is a live match and you'll catch a glimpse. I watched serie a, juventus vs genoa yestiday. I'm patiently waiting for when startimes will add spanish la liga, so I can watch my CATALAN GIANT, Barca!

Oh, now you want to blame GEJ right? How has the situation improved under Dullamadu the corruption fighter? 9 months in office and all we see is one damned comedy...once you people are caught in a bloody lie, you use GEJ as cover up. Tell Mgbu-gari to move Nigeria down the ranks
*who dey send these people work sef...insulting people's intelligence with far fetched stories*

I'm not blaming GEJ, if you read well. I below criticised the current government for lieing to the people. I'm neither pro gej nor anti jonathan. All I'm concerned about is the welfare of nigeria, and I stated the obvious in the chart! Stop being blind to the truth. Criticise who deserve criticisms and stop playing biased politics

GEJ became president in 2011 and our ranking got worse over the years. # STEALING IS NOT CORRUPTION .....Plus its a shame Our present Government had to lie about being delisted. #Naija which way na

I like these BATTABOX reporters, their expository Interviews is always very exciting to watch.

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass & think about the workers in the brewery and all of their hopes & dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might be out of work & their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, 'It is better that I drink this beer & let their dreams come true than to be selfish and worry about my liver.

I make use of star-times anD I don't see any need to complain atallz. I pay for the basic bouquet 1200 monthly and I watch free serie a matches, ligue 1 and German bundesliga. I get to watch even more stations than the 1500 you would pay on Gotv....Startimes is really trying to give all these for as low as 1200 a month......and No! I am not from a low income family. We are just cutting our coat according to our size. I'm simply getting Value for the 1200 that we pay monthly!!! #if you feel you can stomach paying 15k for just Tv monthly,cool go ahead & buy DSTV but make sure you are getting VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY

Nigerians oooo.....no body sef dey apply reasoning, just read headline, rush go comment. Look @ that yeye document.
1) So disorganised,
2) red underlines which means it hasn't even been "proof-read".
3) No petition number, date nor stamp
Is this how gullible we are? No wonder bloggers increase daily, coz they just sell junk tothe public & they buy the story Hook line, sinker without blinking. Make una dey scrutinize b4 commenting oooooo!!!!!

Ojaysport:
There is always no after d DOT, quote d no and i wil interprete it for u

Not all comes with a number throoughout. Some comes with number & alhpabet like 6K1E

Well, now some of us here have seen our names. What documents does one need so he/she wouldn't be found wanting when registration kicks offf by 8th of february?

Humans eh, when women come to the textile market @ the Island market in lagos(balogun). They look down on this blackmaterial she isputting on because itsvery cheap. But see how gorgeous she looks. No-one will believe a yard of this lace sells for 500naira/yard
#its not how expensive a wear is, its how well does it appear on you.

While oil accounts for roughly 90% of 'government Forex earnings', it accounts for roughly 35% of our 'GDP', and averagely 40-65% of total 'government earnings' (DEPENDING ON OIL PRICES AND PRODUCTION)

Those are your facts there bro; you get the drift?

Now u come, I thought you meant our generated revenue from exports. Now I get the drift.

989900:
That is what I was saying in my earlier post.

Excess liquidity (this alone according to analysts, accounts for roughly another 30% of the devaluation of our Naira),

No power,

Importation of refined petroleum products and food are the real killers, not your designer mundanes.


P.S. Oil does not account for 90% of our revenue (I guess the OP meant Forex income -- even, that is skewed). It actually accounts for roughly 30-40% of our total income.

Get your facts right brov! You are even wrong quoting 30-40%. Oil is our biggest source of revenue in naija currently. How can a 30-40% source of revenue be making the whole nation shiver? Uche gi o di kwa na ihe ana ako?

From an Investment point of view, if you convert a huge chunk of your money to dollars and Store it for 10years. By then $1 suppose don be = 700naira
Let's say you covert 1million naira

$1 = 300
1,000,000naira ($3333)

10years later
$1 = 700
$3,333 = 3,333*700 = 2.3million
Gain of 1.3m.....this is more than an annual 10% yield in fixed deposit or bonds or tbills. An added way to diversify your Investmet portfolio
****************************************
NB: No talk say I dey jonze ooo, since you & I have been in primary school, dollar has always been rising and will always continue to Rise.....You know why Its because Our appetite for obodo oyibo goods will stiill be there even in 10yrs time. So exchange rate go still cast! Ighota go

OP you'v spoken well, but I'll like to let you know. Production or Manufacturing cannot work especially WITHOUT POWER!!! Do you know that NBS ( Nigeria brewery) reported in the dailies sometime ago that they spent 33bn on fueling within 5yrs?..................................................................do u know that, The cost of manufacturing in nigeria is 2 times the cost of what you'll get in ghana & 9 times the cost of what you'll get in china (sentence made on goodmorning nigeria nta by president of M.A.N; Manufacturing association of Nigeria)?

You have the solution, but the government need to lay the foundation. Coz china and some other countries have made these products cheaper to Import than to manufacture in Nigeria

Nigeria ranked 130 until Jonathan took over the affairs of the nation in 2010, the graph tells you how far we'v fared. Stats do not lie!

Marcelini:
First you ask of the condition of Ndiigbo in the SE, and you ignorantly thought they were worst than the rest of the country, but when slapped with hot facts and stats showing that not only is SE thriving, despite next to nothing assistance from the FG, she is ahead of the rest of the country on vital MDGs, but now you shift goal Post and ask why people are not willingly migrating to Igboland?


How is that of any concern to the Igbo man? Many Igbo sons are in Igboland doing well and uplifting the region, others are scattered all over the world, it's simply who we are.

When the Igbo gets a nation, our diaspora population will come in handy as they all bring their global expertise home to Igboland to help her grow, absent of the negative policies put in place by hostile and envious groups in Nigeria, it will be just like the diaspora Jews returned to rebuild Israel.

There's no point debating with u. You have ur opinion, so have mine. And I laugh when u say I IGNORANTLY THOUGHT IGBOS ARE WORST THAN THE REST OF THE COUNTRY? What do you think I am? A 12year old? Even a jss2 student knows which part of the country is living more in poverty and which part of the country is most industrious. Since u resorted to putting words in my mouth, nd saying things I didn't say Its best I ended dis talk. Live with your opinion, I'v got mine and so do others. Let's not get to the point of throwing insults, I'm too cultured for that.

Marcelini:
Even with the unhealthy baggage that sharing a nation with bitter hostile groups brings to Igboland, available stats shows that Igboland has fared better than all other Nigerian groups, I speak not out of speculation, but out of facts and formidable stats and my absolute believe in the tenacity and success driven genes upon which the very fibre of the Igbo people is built .

Look out for the rankings for the attainment of MDGs in Nigeria, Igboland seats on top of that in Nigeria, there is no better way to measure how viable a sovereign Igbo nation will be.

Further more, look out for the stat for economic viability of all the Nigerian six geo political zones, SE came second only to SS, and also consider the fact that we have parts of Igboland in SS.

So, as you see, the argument of economic viability of present Igboland in Nigeria, and it's relationship to viability of a future Igbo independent nation is DOA.

Has these rankings or facts attracted igbos living in diaspora to comeback and settle? Or has it stopped igbos from migrating from east to lagos or PH or abuja in search of a better living on a daily basis. Whatever the ranking u may present, until people start coming back to the east WILLINGLY because of the attractiveness it now poses. The Igbo land has not gotten there yet!!!
